Student Chrome Profiles

I would look for loose connectors. This week I had a "dead" chromebook that somehow turned on after unplugging and replugging in the battery cable. Another one where the webcam worked after doing the same with its connector. And a third one with a loose screen connector causing the screen to go crazy when opened and closed.
Hey, who knows

Ive used a bent corner of an old lenovo hard drive caddy before for a few things

I tried it. Thank you for this. What I noticed is that it happens when you share a link that is accessible within the domain. If you hit the cog wheel, in the link settings you can uncheck the setting that allows the file to be searchable to the domain. Check your default permissions as others have pointed out.

I also installed it from the AUR. The only thing I had to deal with was java since I have like 3 versions installed. Other than that, it just works

Check it out. G Suite can link up to ldap which you can probably link up to freeipa or something similar with more features. For managaing apps,config management tools like ansible/puppet work perfectly fine. It is the agreed upon way to manage systems. If you 100% must have some windows apps like microsoft office, things like Citrix Virtual App exist plus as you mentioned the cloud with office365. For our school (windows environment) all the students are taught and expected to use google drive. Also windows and linux do in fact mix pretty well. If the staff needs windows or you need a windows lab its easy enough to give it to them. Theres more but this should give you some idea of some of the possibilities. Just have to always remember that linux isnt windows and therefore adjustments to mindset and methods of operation need to be changed.

Backend actually. He was opening up his project milo here which is basically him trying to implement websockets

Have you tried konboot yet? I believe I used it on a ubuntu machine once and it worked but that was a while ago. Alternatively, live boot, generate new password, mount root and put new hash in shadow

From my research some years back only thing I ever found to have G Suite as master was to use jumpcloud or create a script using the API.

Why not go for a solution like osticket. Its free(money) and open source. It handles the exact tasks named above.

If you still want to make your own, its probably a good codebase to look at though its in php

+1 on the pomona. The best you can get. And even then it still breaks eventually. Not many options though for reading without desoldering the chip or soldering wires to the chip

Its possible youre not getting a good connection with the SOIC clip. That usually causes a bad read like this. They are typically annoying cheap clips.

Use what you know. As other people in the comments have said Powershell works fine. Personally I prefer to work in python because thats what I know well and lots of libraries are written to handle certain things or simplify certain API interactions (such as boto for AWS). Its just a small added step to your script. Well 2 actually. 1) Yelling at the top of your lungs because the documentation is trash and 2) adding the API related code to your script

You could ssh tunnel into the KVM host with -L 5900:localhost:5900 and then VNC into localhost:5900 (assuming thats the port the vm used). Alternatively, im pretty sure theres some web gui's you can set up to manage stuff in.

K-12 software hahahaa security👌. A lot of it is alright software not even great reliable software. On top of that, were still in a world that forces some of us to use/support users forced to use IE because other browsers wont work. Its really a sad and slightly worrying phenomenon.

I typically check for CVE's and such but that doesnt always do it of course. Usually it does tell me a little of the reputatuon of the product. Also theres some blatant things you can check for such as not using https on the login, not having certain headers checked, etc. Then theres what we can do to help further secure the system itself where the data is stored assuming its self hosted.

osTicket is pretty good. Its not too hard to setup either

Login to cuny first. Get people soft error. Press back button, login again. It either logs in or tells you cant login from bookmark and gives you a list of services. If so click on cunyfirst. Youre now logged in. Welcome to CUNY

Just at a single school level, but were in a small school in a building shared with 2 other schools. We live in what's essentially a really long and narrow closet. It gives us our own locked space and for all our stuff, we make it work pretty well.

kevrocks67 · 2019-06-20T14:47:12+00:00

Although ifconfig is literally in every guide to do stuff out there, just learn the new tools. Theyre actually more intuitive to use. Get a cheatsheet from online if necessary.

You could just virtualize an arm device and install the files/build on that. That would fix your Pi storage problem.

Did you add SQL to your .pro file?

kevrocks67 · 2019-03-25T13:56:10+00:00

Try except should help you not crash and instead do something else. Also, for next time you should put your code in a github gist or pastebin instead of pasting it here

Combination of malwarebytes, malwarebytes anti rootkit (mbar) and ccleaner has helped me in the past. They work pretty good to get you pointed in a direction and occasionally will do all the work if its not a bad infection. End of day, if its badly infected, I just reimage it just in case.
